COLONY INFORMATION
Colony Age (approximate): 80 years
Population (approximate): 10,000
Species Present: 90% Human, 10% Others
Colony Status: Federation Protectorate
Government: Planetary Council, with a governor
elected by that body.
Major Cities/Settlements: Aquinis Settlement
History: Settled by a group of scientists, aquatic harvesters
and fishermen. The planet was first surveyed
approximately 100 years ago, by one of the first
major coreward expansion survey missions. Planet was
not deemed to be suitable for colonization, because
of it's small amount of harvestable land. However,
it's scientific value drew a large number of marine
biologists, as well as aquatic farmers/harvesters/
fishermen. Colony size has remained stable since,
not significantly increasing or decreasing since the
initial colonization effort, hovering around 10,000.
Economy: Latinum-based. Heavily focused on the fishing and
harvesting industry. No mineral resources to speak
of, nor any major industries.
Tech Level: Late 24th Century. (close to modern)
Culture: None to speak of. A typical isolated agricultural
and scientific colonial mixture.
Notes: Most of the colonists live in isolated communities
on smaller islands, with about 1,000 living in the
Aquinis Settlement. There are several underwater
settlements, though most are simply homesteads for
aquatic harvesters. Nearly everyone on the planet
does a small amount of harvesting, farming, or
fishing in order to support the colony, including
scientists.
Fairly isolated from the rest of the Federation,
but maintains regular contact through subspace,
as well as freighter shipments and stopovers.
Contact also maintained through the local DOCA
office, located in Aquinis Settlement.
